Cheviot Hills Fine Foods, bringing you award winning venison, fine preserves and other good things, is based at the historic Cheviot Hills farm in Cheviot, North Canterbury, New Zealand. We make it easy for you to buy beautiful tender venison for your everyday meals and for special occasions.

All our venison comes from our farm. The gentle rolling hills are ideal for deer, sheep, cattle and crops, and the views to the sea and to the mountains make it a very pleasant place to call home. The judges of the 2012 Farmers Market New Zealand awards certainly thought that the Cheviot Hills produces beautifully tender venison - awarding us the winner of the "From the Butchery" section for the best raw meat product at New Zealand's farmers markets. The awards don't stop with the venison though: our haw sauce was given the innovation award at the 2014 Farmers Market Awards. The judges called it the product of the year.

Cheviot Hills venison, sausages, preserves, sauces, ready to eat venison meals and other good things are available direct from us by courier or delivery - see our mail order page. As well as home cooks we supply restaurants, cafes and caterers. Whole venison carcasses are available on request. Feel free to keep in touch with us via our Facebook page, where we post snippets of news, recipes, cooking tips and other items that we think might interest you.

Our selection of preserves, sauces and mustard are perfect to go with our venison and can also be used with other things. Cheviot Hills Rhubarb & Fig Jam is an excellent accompaniment to red meat such as our venison, goes very well with cheese and is also good simply on hot toast. This jam was runner-up in “From the Kitchen Bench” category of the 2011 New Zealand Farmers Market Awards. Cheviot Hills Rhubarb & Elderflower Jam is a lovely lightly set jam delicious on hot toast or scones or with cheese. Cheviot Hills Blackberry & Elderberry jam is an autumnal jam that can be used as a base for a venison marinade or when deglazing a pan. It is also good as a breakfast jam. Cheviot Hills Damson Jam is a classic tart jam which has the intense damson flavour. Cheviot Hills Quince Marmalade combines local quinces and lemons to create an old fashioned preserve for cheese and toast. Cheviot Hills Very Merry Summer Jam is a lovely silky jam with a vibrant red colour and a deep fruit flavour. Cheviot Hills Blueberry & Pinot Noir Sauce uses two classic combinations to go with venison, and the fruity flavour of Cheviot Hills Haw Sauce doubles as an excellent match for venison and as a salad dressing. Our classic redcurrant and blackcurrant jellies are simple but lovely to pair with venison, as is our horseradish mustard. Blackcurrant and redcurrant syrups complete our selection.

See our preserves & sauces page for stockists or contact us for mail orders. All our preserves & sauces are hand made in small batches in Canterbury, New Zealand.

From time to time we also have other treats available, such as our delicious Cheviot Hills Elderflower Turkish Delight.
